We let students have a deeper insight on social poverty and minority groups. Our “community-based” teaching model emphasizes the practical skills in reality. 800 hours of fieldwork studies and 100 hours of pre-fieldwork training sessions enable students to become responsible, committed and competent social workers in future.

Mr. LEUNG, Wing Yu — Chairman of BSW Advisory Committee

Hong Kong Nang Yan College of Higher Education offers a “community-based” teaching model, emphasizing the importance of social work expertise and skills in community practice. On one hand, students will learn theoretical knowledge from courses. On the other hand, they can get in touch with individual problems and social issues in Shamshuipo where the College is located. Students will learn the knowledge, analyze problems and utilize community resources to enhance the mutual support and care among residents. This kind of experiential learning will enable students to master the integration of theory and practice, and help them to become responsible, committed and competent social workers in future.
